38 PASS OUT FROM GBC

-


Christians particularly preachers and church leaders have been reminded of their obligations to inspire the followers to unite and live pure lives worthy of their affiliation with Jesus Christ who is the focus of their worship. To this end, they must not only unite but also encourage their members to be tolerant of divergent views including criticisms, showing love to all and forgiving one another of their transgressions.

 The Minister in charge of the Nsawam Road Church of Christ in Accra, Evangelist George Asah, gave the advice in Kumasi at the 49th annual graduation and thanksgiving service of the Ghana Bible College. 

The service was used to send off 38 students of the College who had completed two years of theological courses in Sacred Ministry, Bible and Christian Ministry after which they also undertook six months of intensive mentorship at various congregations of the Church of Christ. 

The service was on the theme: “Purity and Unity; A Hallmark for Maturity”. Evangelist Asah expressed reservations about perceived disunity among individual members and various congregations of the Church in Ghana based on factors such as lack of forgiveness, self- centeredness and uncontrolled individual difference.

 He however, advised the new preachers to show maturity and good leadership at their duty posts while shunning worldliness in other to remain focused on their divine calling. 

The Principal of the Ghana of the Ghana Bible College, Emmanuel Antwi said the College’s students population has seen a remarkable increase following the creation of outreach campuses in the Brong Ahafo and other parts of the Asante region to make the College accessible to all. 

The Principal described dwindling funding as the major and imminent threat to sustainability of the College following the inability of its major financiers to withdraw their support henceforth. Mr. Antwi therefore appealed to the local congregations and individual members to take up the challenge of resourcing the school.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
